Hi Omkar,
Only an agrculturist can purchase agricultural land in Maharashtra. if you desire to purcase agricultural land you will need earlier permission of collector. Transfer to Vanikaran land to a non agriculturist obstructed under Section-63.
No sale, gifts, exchange or lease of any land shall be valid in favour of person who is not an agriculturist.

However collector may grant permission for transfer under the below mentioned conditions: 1) Such a person bona fide requires the land for a non agricultural purposes; or 2) The land is required for the benefit of an industrial or commercial undertaking or an educational or charitable institution; or 3) Such land being mortgaged, mortgage has obtained from collector a certificate that he have the intention to take the profession of an agriculturist and agrees to cultivate the land personally; or 4) The land is required by co-op society.
